Program Description
The Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgical Scholar Program at Mayo Clinic in Rochester is specifically designed to train future leaders of academic GI surgery. We are committed to supporting and teaching each fellow so they are ready to matriculate to the next level of training and, at the completion of their training, to successfully complete the board examinations and begin academic practice.
The overall approach of the program is either one or two years, depending on your needs.Generally, your experience will include:
- Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy
- Surgical and non-surgical treatment of gallstones and other biliary, pancreatic and liver disorders
- Management of inflammatory bowel disease including ileoanal anastomosis
- Treatment of benign and malignant surgical diseases of the endocrine system, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, anus and rectum, and hernias
- Therapeutic endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures
The fellowship also includes strong research and didactic components.
Program History
The GI Scholar Program began at Mayo Clinic in Rochester in 1994. Since that time, approximately nine fellows have completed their training in this program. Going forward, it is anticipated that one fellow will complete the fellowship each year.
